Publisher Description
To protect those most vulnerable, Haven Haviland must trust her heart--and her regrets--to a mysterious newcomer in this moving contemporary romance.
Few in the community of Whisper Canyon have actually met Jace Daring, a handsome recluse who lives at Aspen Crossroads, the farm at the edge of town. But that doesn't stop the rumors about the multiple women who live with him. He must protect the truth--that his farm-to-table restaurant will provide new livelihoods for women rescued from human trafficking--or he risks the safety and futures of those relying on him. But he can't do it alone.
Haven Haviland has always been everyone's safe place to fall until one mistake closes her counseling practice and leaves her open to the town's gossip. Trusting men has gotten her in trouble before. However, accepting Jace's job offer to mentor the rescued women seems like the perfect way to right her wrongs.
When the mayor's campaign to clean up Whisper Canyon targets Aspen Crossroads, the restaurant comes under fire, dangers from the women's pasts are awakened, and Haven's sins are exposed for all to see. Jace would sacrifice himself to save Haven and the women under his care, but his efforts might not be enough. And in the end, it might not be the women most in need of saving after all.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Faith is tested in small-town Whisper Canyon in this achingly emotional romance from Rosche (Glory Falls). Jace Daring vowed never to return to the town that shunned his teenage mother and forced her into a life of prostitution—until his employer chooses Whisper Canyon as the location for its newest second-chance home for victims of sex trafficking. Local therapist Haven Haviland's family name was tarnished decades ago by Haven's promiscuous mother. Now, Haven faces a scandal of her own that results in her closing her practice. When Jace hires Haven to mentor the women he's taken in at his farmhouse, she sees it as an opportunity for redemption. But trust doesn't come easy for any of the strong but scarred women in her care, particularly as they face challenges created by judgmental churchgoers and callous politicians. Jace and Haven find comfort and love in each other while rediscovering their faith through witnessing their charges' unwavering determination to build better lives. Nothing comes easy, but Rosche handles sensitive subjects with care. This moving tale of healing, hope, and acceptance is sure to resonate with fans of inspirational romance.
